Gold Coast   22 Mar 2025
 
GOING: S(5)

SEQ FORMWORK Maiden Handicap 2225m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 26)   Rail: +3m 900m-W/Post; +2m Remainder. (Pent: 4.84)  

Should be a strong tempo with plenty of speed engaged. PREFER TO DANCE (1) stepped up to this distance at the Sunshine Coast and spiked his figures beaten 1.5L. He has a handy 2kg claim today and can go one better. CAPTAIN GOOD VIBES (2) presents from the same contest and didn't finish the race off. He was beaten a lip here prior over 2050m and that would have him right in the finish. DEEP DRIVE (6) went close in that contest improving again. The extra metres will suit and she also has claims. BOLERO (5) spiked her figures at Warwick and should be around the mark. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Prefer To Dance.

The start before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 8 at this track Mdn-Sw on February 22 over 2050m, on a slow track; head behind Kalkanli carrying 55.5kg at $8.50. Rates highly.
